We have made a pact with our community to practice fiscal accountability, and we assure you that we have operated and will continue to operate in a responsible fashion. The children of Northwest are our most precious resource, and we will continue to offer an excellent education to these children, thanks to your support. Northwest pride remains strong. Northwest names Donna Lenardos as Teacher of the Year and Ashley Winston as Rookie of the Year Mrs. Donna Lenardos has been selected as our representative to the All-County Teaching Team for 2016. With 24 years of experience in education, Mrs. Lenardos has taught fourth grade at Stinson Elementary for the past 13 years. She is a graduate of Kent State University and has a Master of Arts in Teaching and Learning from Nova Southeastern University. Mrs. Lenardos appreciates the community support in the Northwest Local School District. In fact, her two children have attended Northwest Schools. Her son, Alex, is also a graduate of Ohio Northern and daughter, Morgan, is a junior at Northwest High School. Mrs. Lenardos says it’s an “awesome feeling” to be selected for this honor. Mrs. Mariani, Principal at Stinson Elementary, says Mrs. Lenardos “has always been dedicated and committed to getting the most out of her students whether it be academically or behaviorally. The most challenging students always excel in her classroom. Differentiation was something that was a common occurrence for her students long before differentiation became a buzz word. She is here every day and sets high expectations for herself, her students, and her peers. She is a role model for all.” Feature: Grease pg. 12 The Northwest “Rookie of the Year” is Ashley Winston, a graduate of Walsh University. She is currently working on a Master of Arts in 21st Technology at Walsh. Ashley teaches eighth-grade mathematics and Algebra 1 at the middle school. She is also the head coach for the varsity golf team. www.northwest.sparcc.org 1 Northwest News Fiscally Responsible...Quality Academic Education Board of Education Committed to an Open & Transparent District [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] [email protected] From left: Steve Jones, John Hexamer, Rita Gearhart, Board President Bruce Beadle and Vice-President Jim Gindlesberger. Curriculum News Debora Clark, Director of Instruction Summer School Information Northwest Local Schools will offer summer school opportunities to students in kindergarten through third grade who need additional reading instruction. The summer reading program begins June 7 and concludes on July 14. The program is held three days a week on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday mornings from 8:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m. Additional information regarding our summer reading program will be distributed to parents in early May. The district will also offer online credit recovery options to students in grades nine through twelve who have failed a course during the academic school year. Additional information will be provided by the high school counselors in early May. Gifted Identification While all children have gifts and talents, not all children are considered “gifted.” Northwest Local understands the need for educational opportunities for students who demonstrate exceptional cognitive and academic skills. Gifted identification and service begins as young as kindergarten. Students who qualify for services in K-3 have access to enriched curriculum opportunities in reading and mathematics. Students in fourth and fifth grade who qualify for services have access to our Gifted ELA and Math Courses. Students in middle school and high school have access to enriched courses, AP courses, and College Credit Plus courses. All students participate in whole grade gifted screening, and third and fifthgrade students participate in ability testing. Parents may refer their child for gifted testing by requesting a referral form from their building administrator and returning the form by May 1, 2016. For additional information regarding gifted identification and screening please contact Debora Clark, Gifted Coordinator at (330) 854-2291 or [email protected]. 2015 State Report Card Information The Ohio Department of Education (ODE) released the final components of the 2015 district report card in late February. There were multiple factors that impacted many of the 2015 district report cards across the state including the implementation of new state assessments, the use of an online testing platform rather than the traditional paper pencil format and issues with the test provider. 2 www.northwest.sparcc.org While the report card data was impacted by the identified factors and does not reflect all of the work the staff does to ensure student academic success, the report card does provides the district with a “snapshot of student progress.” The administrative team and staff members are in the process of analyzing the 2015 report card data to determine any areas of concern or need as well as celebrating areas of success. One area of concern for the district is the K-3 Literacy indicator, the district received an “F” on this indicator. The Third Grade Reading Guarantee (TGRG) legislation requires the district to screen all K-3 grade students prior to September 30 of each school year. Any student who is identified as “not-on-track” in the area of reading, is placed on a Reading Improvement Monitoring Plan (RIMP). The district provides multiple types of intervention for these students including: small group reading instruction, phonics instruction, Title I tutoring, after school tutoring, and summer school programs. Our students demonstrated significant progress and growth in the area of reading and all of our third grade students met the requirements of the TGRG and were promoted to fourth grade. The question still remains, “How did the district end up with an ‘F’ on the indicator if all of the students met the requirements of the TGRG?” The K-3 Literacy indicator focused only on those students who were identified as “not-on-track” (32 students) rather than the entire student population (568 students) in grades K-3. The indicator grade is based on the progress of these 32 students in grades K-3 as well as the third grade students’ scores on the state reading assessment. There are multiple ways to meet the criteria for promotion under the TGRG. All of the students who were identified as “not-on-track” significantly increased their overall reading abilities and met the requirements for promotion to fourth grade. The K-3 literacy indicator requires all third graders who were identified as “not on track” to obtain a proficient (400) score on the third grade reading assessment, which did not occur. Our overall passage rate on the state third grade reading assessment was 84%. While the district is concerned with the K-3 Literacy indicator, we will continue to use multiple sources of information to determine a student’s progress as well as focusing on intervening early, providing interventions and support as needed, and meeting the individual needs of our students. Our staff remains focused on ensuring all students reach their highest potential. If you have any questions regarding the K-3 Literacy indicator or any other part of the district’s state report card, please contact Debora Clark at (330) 854-2291. Northwest Alumni Corner A proud member of the Class of 1955, Marvin Hardgrove represents the best in our community. He has been married to his wife, Wilma, who was a classmate, for 59 years. In fact, their first date was graduation night, and they went to a graduation party together. Mr. Hardgrove has the distinction of being the first Northwest player to score a touchdown when he intercepted a pitchout from Doylestown’s quarterback and ran the football back for a touchdown. Mr. Hardgrove also played the drums in the high school band for the illustrious director, Emil Puffenberger. According to Mr. Hardgrove, “Puffenberger was an outstanding band director, and we had a number one rating in the state.” Graduating classes were smaller in those days, and he noted that his class only had 55 graduates. With such small classes, Puffenberger drafted younger students to march in the band. In fact, Mr. Hardgrove joined the band in fifth grade because Puffenberger was impressed because he was so tall. One of the highlights of his participation in the marching band was their halftime performance in 1947 at a Cleveland Browns’ football game. Mr. Hardgrove went to Kent State University where he majored in industrial arts and played football, but his heart remained in the Northwest community where his sweetheart was waiting for him. He left Kent State early to return home where he started to work for a contractor and his dad had a building supply store. Thanks to his experiences in construction, he started Hardgrove Construction, building over 100 homes. He credits his shop teacher, Mr. Rannigan, as a major influence in his life because his mechanical arts class helped in his career choice. The success of his business has given Marvin and Wilma Hardgrove numerous opportunities to travel, and his favorite destination was Alaska where they observed the Iditarod. He has also served as a Lawrence Township Trustee and a member of Lions Club. He is definitely “old school,” one of those gentlemen who believes in giving back to his community. His most rewarding experience over the years was serving on the Independent Finance Committee where he and other community members studied the school district’s finances and helped craft a plan to keep the school district intact. Mr. Hardgrove carried the football for the school when he was a young man, and he was not inclined to let the system down now. Annual Community Day is Safe Kids Day 2016 Each year nearly 11,000 Stark County children are treated in area emergency rooms for injuries that could have been prevented. On Sunday, April 17, from 12:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. parents and their children can learn how to be safe at Safe Kids Day which will be at Northwest High School. Safe Kids Day is brought to you by the Stark County Health Department, Safe Kids Stark County, Canal Fulton Chamber and Northwest Local Schools. www.northwest.sparcc.org 3 Northwest News Fiscally Responsible...Quality Academic Education Northwest Primary Jill Butler celebrating Dr. Seuss’s birthday.

Stinson students spent several weeks in PE class creating jump rope routines with their classmates. The students did this to raise funds for the American Heart Association. Jump Rope For Heart (JRFH) is a national education and fundraising program jointly sponsored by SHAPE America and the American Heart Association. They promote physical education and provide children with knowledge of heart disease and stroke while raising funds for cardiovascular disease research, stroke research, and health education. One of the perks of participating in the Jump Rope For Heart program is the opportunity to teach the younger generation about heart-healthy living. A thank you goes out to all of the parents who supported this program either by donating to the cause and/or supporting their child while they created and practiced their jump rope routine. The students’ routines were very creative using different equipment, music, tumbling, and dance along with the jump ropes! The students have raised over $2,000 each school year! Stark County Area Math Tournament For the first time in several years, Northwest students in grades 5-7 competed in the Stark County Area Math Tournament on Saturday, March 5. The tournament recognizes students’ achievement in mathematics, provides enriched practice that extends beyond the standards, gives students an opportunity to gain recognition for their mathematical skills, and connects talented students with their counterparts from other schools. A total of 764 students from 19 school districts competed. Students were able to compete in such categories as Number Sense, Algebra, Geometry, Mental Computation, Team Problem Solving, and Advanced Algebra for seventh-graders. 5th Grade Participants: Connor Kilkenny, Ava Meredith, Max Zink, Christopher Wilson, Alex Kelleher, Trey Hutzell, Ryan Wilson, Aidan Chumita, Claudine Sanaopao, Ian Fiebig, Caden Skinner, Ray Stokes, Gianna Kuhn, and Brennan Armstead Our Northwest students were really excited to take part in this opportunity. All three grade level teams placed in the Team Problem Solving category and some students placed individually. Our coaches Tom Johnsen, Pam Kurz Ann Brunner, Natalie Prinkey and Monica Sigler did a fantastic job of encouraging and preparing our students for this opportunity. Rhonda Oser and Becca Wirfel volunteered their time to assist as proctors and scorers for the tournament. 5th place Number Sense: Max Zink 7th Grade Participants: Cassie Stewart, Austin Stefan, Jack Friedrichsen, Michael Doherty, Joey Powers, Aston Schwiger, Ryan Mollendick, Luke Kager, Natalie Bender, Patrick McKelroy, Zoey Walsh, Connor Smith, Ian Donohue, and Ashton Nair 6th place for Geometry/Measurement: Ryan Wilson 6th Place Mental Computation: Jack Friedrichsen 2nd place Team Problem Solving: Ray Stokes, Gianna Kuhn and Brennan Armstead 3rd Place Geometry/Measurement: Ryan Moellendick 5th Place Problem-Solving Team: Connor Smith, Ian Donohue, and Aston Nair 6th grade participants: Mario Zito, Bayleigh Lower, Nathan Bloom, Jack VanBlargan, Olivia Ellis, Ben Zink, Zach Kurz, Kendall Carpenter, Megan Swogger, Alivia Nair, Mary Paydock, Lauren Sigrist, and Brady Aneshansel 2nd Place Problem Solving Team: Mary Paydock, Lauren Sigrist, and Brady Aneshansel www.northwest.sparcc.org 5 Northwest News Fiscally Responsible...Quality Academic Education Congratulations Top Te Northwest High School has announced the top ten graduating seniors in the Class of 2016. Co-valedictorians are Corey Carpenter and Matt Fennell. The salutatorian is David Dill. These three young men will represent their fellow graduates as speakers at Commencement Saturday, May 28, at Umstattd Performing Arts Hall. While these young men and women are excellent students, we wanted to give you a chance to learn even more about them. We asked these young people two questions: • Looking back over the last four years, what would your senior self teach your freshman self? • Who has had the greatest impact on your life during your educational experience? Nathan Booth Nathan will attend either The University of Akron or North Carolina University to major in chemical engineering. • I would tell myself to study more mainly just to learn how to study well. Also, I would tell myself to try to make more time for friends that I’ve grown apart from. Another thing I wish I would have known is not to be timid in sharing my faith to my peers. • One of the most memorable years for me personally was my fifth-grade year with Mrs. Manns. In her class I learned a lot academically, but I also made a lot of friendships that have lasted throughout my life so far. Mrs. Manns also made me feel very cared for which helped me flourish in and out of the classroom. Corey Nicholas Carpenter After graduation, Corey plans to attend THE Ohio State University to study and major in Aeronautical Engineering. Corey is also thinking “about joining the United States Air Force and participating in an ROTC program while attending college.” He would also like to obtain a pilot’s license. • Looking back on high school, my senior self would tell my freshman self that changing schools is really hard, but it gets better. Also, have more fun. Not that I didn’t already have a blast, but I could have enjoyed a little more! And hit the weight room prior to the end of junior year. Muscles help. • Throughout my schooling career, the most impactful thing that happened to me was meeting my girlfriend, Taylor. I know this sound like a cliché, but she has honestly had a good impact on me. She has influenced many of my ideas, goals and moods. She inspires me every day to better myself. Her influence on my life means a great deal to me. 6 www.northwest.sparcc.org David Dill David plans to attend Geneva College where he will double major in Chemical Engineering and Chemistry. Also, he plans to play soccer. • Get involved in as many different things as you can. You will have many opportunities to learn, meet amazing new people, and have incredible experiences. Don’t be afraid to step out of your comfort zone and try something new. Finally, keep your eyes on the prize because hard work is rewarded. • I have had a lot of awesome teachers, but if I had to pick the most impactful teachers they would be Mr. Johnson and Mrs. Huscusson. I had each of them multiple years so I got to know them well and benefited greatly from their teaching in the science and math fields (my favorites). They taught me to enjoy learning and think outside the box. John William Elliott John plans to attend The University of Akron to pursue a Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering Technology. • I would tell my freshman self to stay away from serious relationships with girls, to make more friends right now and to know that each year the feeling of high school just gets better. • The most impactful teacher I’ve had would have to be Mrs. Huscusson. When I first had her sophomore year for Algebra 2, she was so good at showing us how math works. I think it motivated me to become an engineer since that’s a career heavily involved in math. Matthew Fennell Matt will probably attend Toledo University and major in Chemical Engineering with a minor or double major in Business. • Don’t be afraid to go out of your comfort zone early. If you do this, you will remember more about your experiences. The new things I have tried like Man of the Year, choir and Student Council have been some of my most lasting memories. Try whatever you can while you still can. You may like new things you never imagined you would. • I loved going to a small school because every teacher seems to care how you do in class. Anyone was willing to stay late or come early to help you. Mrs. Stacy’s class changed me in the sense that she helped me learn to be creative and go above and beyond. She taught me how to make things fun. en Graduating Seniors Holly Hamilton Hannah Messner Because she is very passionate about art, Holly will major in graphic arts at Stark State College. Hannah has not yet decided on a major, but she will attend Kent State Stark. • Good studying habits get you far; sadly enough though, I hardly needed to study before high school so I hadn’t developed any good skills. My advice is to learn good study habits early on and then you will have them when you need them. • In seventh grade, I was put into an advanced English class. I was surprised and confused because I didn’t believe that I deserved to be there; however, it inspired me to strive for better grades and sparked the motivation for school, which has led me to where I am today. Jacob Allen Hyrne Jacob plans to attend college to study premed in order to become a radiologist. He has not yet decided on a college. • Time really does fly. Everyone is right when they tell you that. Don’t ignore that and enjoy it while you can. Don’t take anything for grants because tomorrow isn’t guaranteed. Live your life to the fullest and hang on to every moment like it’s your last. You only go through high school once so live it to the fullest. • My most influential teacher is Mr. Johnson. Mr. Johnson made me realize I love science and that’s what I want to do with my life. The friendships and bonds I’ve built at this school are what have had the biggest impact on me. The amount of support I’ve had is unbelievable both in and out of school. There was always someone will to help with school and things outside of school. The people here at Northwest have been the most impactful thing in my education so far. Leah Luhring Leah will attend Slippery Rock University in a Pre-Physical Therapy. She plans to earn her degree in Sports Medicine before going on for her Master of Physical Therapy. • Get involved in as much as possible. It helps you figure out what you like to do and meet new people that you might otherwise not know. You learn more about yourself while helping others. • Fourth grade was my most impactful year. Mrs. Traganza made school fun for me. She made me excited to go each day and excited to learn. • I would tell my freshman self to be more confident in yourself and abilities. When school and peers drag you down, just always remember to pick yourself up again. • An impactful memory from school would be eighth grade in Mr. Lowrey’s enriched eighth and ninth period class because of the fun I had with my fellow students. I learned a great deal in that class. Madison Pollard Madison is considering a major in psychology or law, and she is planning to attend The University of Akron. • I would tell my freshman self not to stress out so much about grades. You won’t die if you get a “B.” Do not feel obligated to take on all responsibilities, especially if people are offering their help. Lastly, delegation of duties is your best friend! • Mrs. Traganza, Mrs. Ries, Mr. Johnson, Mrs. Huscusson and Mr. Armstrong have all helped me develop as a better student and person, so thank you all. Out of all these wonderful teachers, Mr. Armstrong has helped me so much and believed in me when I thought no one else did, so thank you. My Wish by Rascal Flatts (Excerpt) I hope the days come easy and the moments pass slow, And each road leads you where you wanna go, And if you’re faced with a choice, and you have to choose, I hope you choose the one that means the most to you. And if one door opens to another door closed, I hope you keep on walkin’ till you find the window, If it’s cold outside, show the world the warmth of your smile. But more than anything, more than anything My wish, for you, is that this life becomes all that you want it to, Your dreams stay big, your worries stay small, You never need to carry more than you can hold, And while you’re out there getting where you’re getting to, I hope you know somebody loves you, and wants the same things too, Yeah, this, is my wish. www.northwest.sparcc.org 7 Northwest News Fiscally Responsible...Quality Academic Education Middle School Middle School Honor Roll Upcoming Events APRIL 18-19 20-22 22 25-27 7th Grade Testing 8th Grade Testing 7/8 Grade Early dismissal..............................................10:30am 6th Grade Testing MAY 12 26 27 27 Student of the Month Banquet @ NWHS Commons Northwest Middle School Awards Assembly...................9:00am 7/8 Grade Cedar Point Trip LAST DAY OF SCHOOL FOR STUDENTS Student Recognition Northwest Middle School teachers select one boy and one girl from each grade level each month to recognize them for being exemplary students.

Spotlight on Students Northwest’s “Spotlight on Students” continues with the most recent video focused on Tristen Boswell, a senior who attends the Early Childhood Program at R.G. Drage Career Technical Center. Go to the home page of the school district website to see a short video on Tristen. The district website is www.northwest.sparcc.org. Duffel Bag and Blessing Bag Projects The Interact Club, thanks to the support from the Rotary Club of Canal Fulton, conducts Duffel Bag and Blessing Bag Projects. Mr. Rick Woods started the duffel bag project when he was President of the Rotary Club in 2009 and carried it over when he established the Interact Club at NHS in 2011. Since then, the Interact club has driven the project. This year the club was fortunate to receive a grant from Rotary District 6650 that provided matching funds for the collaborative project and has allowed the project to be expanded to include Blessing Bags for the homeless. According to Mr. Woods, the duffel bag project is an effort to support children placed in a foster care: “Often times, youth are removed from their homes in the middle of the night or without advanced notice. There is little time for them to gather up what few possessions they might have, and what they have is often dirty or in disrepair. Youth who enter into our foster care system are traumatized enough by the move, but to add insult to injury, the few remnants they have of their previous life are often carelessly thrown into a trash bag. This is done out of necessity when resources are limited, but inadvertently undermines their already low self-esteem by reinforcing the idea that they are ‘throw-away kids.’ Every day, countless children enter the system in garbage bags and leave the same way. While we, the members of the Canal Fulton Rotary and Interact Clubs, cannot change their situation, it is our hope that by providing displaced children with these duffel bags we might in some small way restore some dignity to these underprivileged youth. Never again will they need to feel like ‘garbage’ because their possessions are treated as refuse.” The duffel bags include a quilt or blanket, hygiene items, a hoodie, school supplies, toys, hats, gloves for starters. Blessing bags are more compact with snacks, first aid items, grooming items, gloves, hats, water, and a fast food gift card. If you or your organization would like to contribute to this project, please contact Mr. Rick Woods at Northwest High School. www.northwest.sparcc.org 9 Northwest News Fiscally Responsible...Quality Academic Education Wresting Highlights Coach Zack Meissner The Northwest Indians Wrestling Team had an excellent year, both as a Team and as Individuals The Indians won the Sectional Championship.
